Wilson wants to compete in the triple jump in Rio de Janeiro, the site of the 2016 games.

“I’ll be going back to school to get my degree and training for the Olympics,” Wilson said. “That’s something I really want to aspire to do now. I was the national champion twice in high school junior and senior year and was an All-American in college [at Virginia Tech].“

He plans to train with his former track coach on campus at Virginia Tech.

As pointed out by USA Today, Wilson’s career best triple jump, a 16.20 meter performance that placed him sixth at the 2011 NCAA Championships, would have placed him tenth in the final heat of the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012.
